I am guilty of Destruction when I burn my forests, deface my hills, and cut down my beautiful trees without thought or feeling.

I am guilty of Pollution when I dump rubbish and refuse wherever I go.

I am guilty of Inconsideration when I litter, because I show disregard for the feelings and rights of others.

I am guilty of Cruelty when I kill any creature without concern for its destruction or care for the young.

I am guilty of Indifference when I destroy my Parks, Savannahs and natural reserves, bringing to extinction many species of wild life that can be found no where else in the world.

I am guilty of Disease when I pollute our rivers, marine life and sea beds, and contaminate our atmosphere.

I am guilty of Wantonness when I slaughter any of our wild life without a thought to the future, or my children's children.

I am guilty of Thoughtlessness and Stupidity when I exterminate any form of life, for once lost, they are lost forever.

I am equally guilty as those who perpetuate such acts of destruction when I remain unconcerned, passive and in-active.

GUILTY? Indeed I am guilty, if I do not pay heed to the signs of regression and danger, for I am creating a wilderness, barren and destitute, for myself and for many generations to come.

I CREATE A BETTER TOMORROW WHEN I PLANT A TREE, SAVE SOME LIVING THING,
PREVENT SOME DESTRUCTION AND TEACH ANOTHER HOW TO CARE.

I AM RESPONSIBLE NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF, BUT FOR ALL HUMANITY,
FOR WHAT CONCERNS ONE PEOPLE, CONCERN ALL PEOPLES.
